Next week, I will provide bioninformatics training within the PhD course High throughput sequencing of non-model organisms. This course runs now the second year at the University of Nordland in Norway and is accompanied by a webpage that provides access to all course material. Interested? Here is the link.

Besides slides from lectures on RAD sequencing and Introduction to bionformatics, the site provides tutorials on how to analyze Next Generation Sequencing data with open-source tools. The tutorials cover introductions to:

• 1. Unix
• 2. Trimming and quality control
• 3. De novo genome assembly
• 4. Mapping and variant calling.

Please feel free comment on the course material below or to discuss any of its content.
